New York Audio Labs Moscode 600
I know they have a pre of their own. They come up used,time to time.---My personal rec. would be the Placette Passive---in a proper set-up.Used; under 1k. I had this amp back in '86,and kept it for 7/8 years. I had the Audio Re. sp9 and then the E... 
An Extraordinary Find
This is one brand I have heard good things about; over the years--but I have never heard any of them.--What were they running these with? Also, what price neighborhood are they in? 
Narrowing the Search
I own a couple of big buck,pre's CAT3 and First Sound. If you can get your pre within 1 mt. of your amps;and if your cd or dac have 3v output the Placett Pasive (1k, used) is all the pre one would need.--Just my opinion. 
Our we Lazy?
At this time I own CJ 8'xs (triode-only) A Dehavilland 845g, and a new toy; the Sound Valves VTA70. I also own a dead, White Audio Labs SS a100.--Which I love and expected 'it' to outlive 'me'. (dead tranny) With regards to the S V VTA--a 35 per. ... 
AVM20 Power Chord
Ok, I think some manufactures just say that so they won't tie the need for a cord purchase to their product. Meaning, you'll get good performance with what they include. Just like amp mfg's don't recommend that a power conditioner be used with the... 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
Agree with the Custom Power Block thing--4 recpt. for front end/only---In this day of mega buck;like items. 
Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
Sound Valves VTA70---Sounds like a CJ 11xs at 1/3 the price. 
Which Cinepro is the real deal??
I would contact both and see which response seems more to your liking and needs. 
Any Time/Warner digital boxes output PCM?
This goes back to a few years ago; I was helping a friend set up his cable box. (TW Cable) I brought over my 2ch dac and the music channels were in 48--the movie stations were in 5.1---So when you switched to HBO no audio came out of the 2ch dac.-... 
The most detailed speaker cable??
Jeez, I visted this thread for a --"my cable,(brand a); is better than your cable, (brand b)"; fight.--Not an education!! --Sort of like, "My mind is made up don't confuse me with facts".--Thanks 'teach'. 
The black hole of component repair?
Here we are 10 days later; still haven't got my piece back from Synergistics Research yet. I guess they are going for 4 months.-When I called last Friday they promised me it would go out on Monday and I should get it on Tuesday. (They just didn't ... 
How to improve XM Radio audio quality?
With all the modded products I'd like to see qhat can be done with these--. 
Mating power cords with APL 3910
While not an audio reference, I like the line in "Moonlight Mile"--sort of goes like this; getting to know somebody 60% isn't where it's at--It's the other 40% that realy counts. Back to audio, me thinks cords can give you that extra 3/4%---and th... 
Full range floor standing speaker???? 4K or so
Where you gonna get M.--mm's for 4k?--The single m, yes. Then we have the not going down to 30 or below,issue.--To me full range means getting down below 30. Of course flabby 20's ain't to good either. 
Halo JC1 lacks on-off breaker on rear panel
This is just general input.---How hot is the surface when the amps are left on/full time??--How often do you listen?? Many amps don't sound nearly as good for the first 18 hrs.or. If you only turn them on for 4/6 hrs;you haven't really heard how g...
